All of the bike computers use barometric pressure altimeters, which won't be nearly as accurate as your GPS.
GPS altitiude is not all that accurate, depends on your satellite acquisition. It is the least accurate of the stats measured in a GPS. But in any case I am mostly interested in Altitude gain/loss. As you said it the cyclocomputer should be fine with that. I am debating on whether I should use the GPS for altitude and the cyclocomputer for distance, etc. Theoretically I only want the altitude info once, the first time I ride a route. decisions, decisions...

As you say, that is one excellent feature and one I don't have on my GPS or in the software that I use to produce elevations profiles. Just like toy^H^H^H gear mana****urers to make this a hard choice.
